WestBridge was co-founded by KP Balaraj, Sumir Chadha, SK Jain and Sandeep Singhal.
WestBridge Capital Partners, which raised its debut fund back during the dot com boom days in 2000, was one of the first independent venture capital firms to take root in India and survive the crash.
In mid-2006, WestBridge merged its operations with US-based Sequoia Capital, one of the most blue chip firms in the business. Before merging, Sequoia and WestBridge had worked on two co-investments in India in BhartiTelesoft (now Comviva) and Mauj.
In 2011 the Westbridge team led by Sumir Chadha split from Sequoia to start making PIPE (private investment in public equity) deals in midcaps under their old avatar.
Westbridge Capital invests via its investment arm Jwalamukhi Investments. and its fund Westbridge Crossover Fund LLC
